In SunOS 4.0 et seq, the TTY driver is Streams-based. (I think I'm supposed to capitalize that "Streams", or maybe it should be "streams" or "STREAMS". Oh, well...) This means that SLIP has to be rewritten as a Streams module, and "slattach" has to push (and eventually pop) it. It's planned for the next release of PC-NFS (no date yet). Note that Sun only officially endorses SLIP for PC-to-Sun (or whatever) connectivity.

It is available for anonymous ftp from neat.ai.toronto.edu (128.100.1.65). I don't remember what the name of the file(s) are. There is lots of stuff in that pub directory. Its availability was announced in the comp.archives group.

Has anyone seen this stuff work on a 386i? I tried it and it seems to drop in easy enough but I can't make it talk. Turning on the internal debug shows lots of M_UNHANGUP messages from the driver. I'm not sure how that gets generated. It seems to be an undocumented feature of the driver. --Ron
